How to introduce the other local guides to the city community

[ZiadA]

I've noticed that we don't have any community from Egypt featured on the map.

So i created one https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/102449293089635639871
but the thing that when i was reviewing some resturants in my city i've found many other local guides in my city reviewing restaurants as well.. But there's no way to contact them and gather them in one group.
How can i let the other local guides in my city get in the city community so we can be featured?

Hi @ZiadA,

I think you can use the standard way to promote your LG Community:

1.  Posting in Connect Forum here

2.  Posting to Maps forums

3.  Posting to Mapmaker forums, if Mapmaker is available in your region

4.  Posting to Twitters / Facebook, etc.

5.  Write Blog posts, so that people can reach you by search.

In fact, I read from our fellow LGs that the best way to get started is to spread the news by people - thus you start to invite people you know in real life, then slowly, they will further invite friends to your community.

Hey @ZiadA, adding to @YK1001's excellent advice, you can also read the article below for instruction how to get your Local Guides community recognized by Google.

Start an online community

Don't hesitate to ask here if you have more questions! Good luck, but most of all, have fun! 🙂

Thanks @YK1001 and @iyudhi 

this was a great advices, and I think i will start telling my friends just by mouse about the LG community and then social media for sure..

Thanks again!

Dear @YK1001, since I knew here, I want to know what do you mean with Maps Forum? Can you point me to a link, maybe? Thanks for your help.

Hi @dirmawanhatta,

This is link to official forums to various Google Products.

You can further look into those that LGs are more likely to visit.
